About this detail

Suspension and framing integration of a recessed lighting fixture with a maximum weight of 56 pounds beneath a concrete slab. The fixture is supported by an eight-gauge hanger wire anchored to the underside of the concrete slab, supplemented by two twelve-gauge slack safety wires at diagonal corners with a minimum of three tight turns in one and a half inches at both ends. A lighting fixture with a flange for gypsum board installation ties into three-quarter-inch channels spaced at a maximum of three feet six inches on center along two sides of the fixture, saddle-tied with two strands of eighteen-gauge wire. Main runner hat channels support one layer of five-eighths-inch gypsum board ceiling, with number twelve Teks screws securing each corner of the fixture into the three-quarter-inch channel.
